Chicken Pita and Cilantro Corn

I have to say upfront, this corn is NOT my idea. Some time back I was watching some cooking show and the guy made this crazy good looking corn. I can not remember who the chef was (it WAS quite a while ago), but I am thinking maybe Bobby Flay. The chef did some other things, like squeezing lime on top and sprinkling with chili powder. I however keep it far more simple. Well simple comparatively, really butter and salt is simple. Was it worth the extra effort. For sure! It was good. I wouldn’t do it every time, but I WILL do it again.

The pita is nothing really to write home about. It was great, it is just not too hard to figure out. We grilled the chicken (and the corn) and put it in a Mediterranean style pita (much thinner pita than what we typically have around here). Then tomatoes and onion, some salsa. The only thing a bit different is I put the leftover cilantro “spread” in the guacamole. SO GOOD!!

We love grilled corn!! Personally, I blanch fresh corn (just a2-3 minutes) then butter it and put the LIGHTEST coat of barbeque sauce on it, then on the grill it goes. It is delicious and if there is any leftovers, cut them off the cob and sprinkle them on salads, it is great.

Yum! And let me tell you...corn on the grill, slathered with Mexican Crema, sprinkled with chili powder, squeezed with lime and rolled in Mexican cheese is one of the best things in the whole wide world. Our family eats it almost every single day of corn season here!! I kid you not, it is SOOOOOOO amazing :). Oops, sorry to go on about it. But it rocks my world!!! That aside...this post has gotten my tummy a-growlin'.
